Hostel by Eli Roth

Category: English

A slasher ultra violent movie at the heart with no real story to back it up. Obviously the Elite Hunting agency is created purely to justify the slaughtering that takes place in this movie.

The movie follows 2 American friends who are joined by a Finnish bloke, on their journey they are posed with the question of more hedonism. That leads them to Bratislava and from there begins the violence. Eventually there's some retribution for the lead characters but that all ends with the beginning of the second movie.

There's not much else I can write about barring the setting which is quite eerie at times and although it recaptures some of the Soviet hangover still sported by the Iron-Curtain countries the camera in the movie points only at the 3rd world section or the murderous intent of shady Eastern European looking men.

Recommendation level: 2/5. Catch this if you want to see Eli Roth at the helm of a movie or if you want to see Takashi Miike's blink and a miss cameo.
